titusnowlI am just so so pleased with how the left-side darts came out on the vest. I've impressed myself. It looks professional! Tiny little stitches a tiny little way in from the tiny little rolled-over edge!
Of course, then I got my work cut out for me on the right-hand side, and put House in the DVD player, and sewed three inches of tiny painstaking backstitch, and then realized I'd folded the dart to the wrong side - had folded the right-hand dart over in the same direction as I'd folded the left-hand one, when they need to be in opposite directions so as to be mirror-images of each other and thus most appealing. FOO. I became so discouraged that Justin had to pick the seam apart (I don't own a seam-ripper, so he used his pocketknife), and I haven't gone back to it since. I suppose I'll do it tomorrow during V for Vendetta.
